pregnant platies

[tank212]

i have had a this platie for a year atleast and its never had babies im pretty sure its pregnant could i move her in a 10gal with 5 guppies because there is really good grass in the guppy tank and in the tank shes in now there are angels and im afraid all the babies will be eaten any advice would be appreciated thanks

What tank is she in now? The fry will survive if it's large enough for them to have hiding places. The more fish in the tank, the less chance of survival. That said, platy fry are smart and some will probably survive regardless.

You have only 5 guppies in the 20 gal? I think the babies will have a better chance in that case there with them than with the angels, esp if there are plants/grass to hide in. I'm curious though--how did she get pregnant? Does she have a mate?

ok shes in a 20gal which currently has 3 angels and 2 more platies another female and a male i got the male when i got her along time ago yes there is plants and stuff in there but i dont know if its enough because like i said shes never had babies in the 10gal i got five guppies with this good breeder grass if i put her in there im sure she wouldnt be bothered and i think the babies would live easily i also got a almost ready to drop guppy in there as well

I certainly think the fry would have a better chance with the breeder grass and the guppys than they would with the angels. I don't see why you couldn't move her. Although your platy may try to eat your guppy fry if they are born before you can move her back out.
